There’s nothing that soothes our souls quite like chocolate.

The decadent treat is something we’re quick to add to cart. Whether we’re after a cheeky 3pm sugar hit or need a bit of nurturing when it’s that time of the month – rich, deliciously sweet, and moreish to say the least – we can’t get enough of the stuff. So much so that now we’re injecting our beauty routines with a sampling of chocolatey goodness too.

Can you imagine a multi-dimensional chocolate haze of eyeshadow all over those stunning peepers of yours? Because we can. How about milk choc-lacquered nails? Um, yes please.

Great, then get a load of this lineup. You’re looking at five chocolate-inspired winners baby – enjoy!

Create a hectic smokey chocolate vision using the high-impact glitter pans in the palette or keep it low-key with the neutral-tones of the matte shades. Either way you’re going to be looking like a snack.
